Hotsprinds: Drinking alcohol, being homosexual/bisexual, wanting privacy, watching tv, sleeping in, and using a computer is NOT signs of needing immediate medical attention. Every teenager wants their privacy, most like to sleep in, most use computers. As for alcohol, I do drink alcohol, but I don't get drunk. What is wrong with that? What is wrong with watching TV too?

If you take your child to a doctor saying, "They watch tv, use the internet, and want privacy! Help!" The doctor will tell you deal with it because that is how a teenager acts and has always acted.

I may be mistaken here but I think this article was a joke. The original website found it on had a "parents against something" organisation.(I can't remember exactly) that abbreviated into P.A.R.O.D.Y o_O. I could be wrong here but some of the points listed are a little too unrealistic.

People like the person that made that post bother me. It isn't the intollerance that does it (though it does play a large part in it). People like that just fail to do any kind of research into the subject they are trying to bash. *rubs temples*

Listed below are some warning signs to indicate if your child may have gone astray from the Lord. Gothic (or goth) is a very obscure and often dangerous culture that young teenagers are prone to participating in. The gothic culture leads young, susceptible minds into an imagined world of evil, darkness, and violence. Please seek immediate attention through counselling, prayer, and parental guidance to rid your child of Satan's temptations if five or more of the following are applicable to your child.

-Frequently wears black clothing.

-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts.

-Wears excessive black eye makeup,lipstick or nail polish.

-Wears any odd silver jewelry or symbols.

-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos.

-Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music. (Marilyn Manson claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.)

-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically.

-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports.

God's fan club... heh. There is not just one of those. I'm in the "liberal goth" sect of God's fan club, so most of the rest of Gods fan club don't want much to do with me. unfortunately. But yep I love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength.

I just hate the way everyone has to be grouped and branded into one category or another. Our english class had to read "To Kill A Mockingbird" recently, which, for anyone who hasn't heard of it, outlines the racism and separatism of 1930's America. It is all about how some people are seen as different, and treated badly and unfairly because of it. And the thing I noticed while reading it (and was given absolutely no extra marks for pointing out in my essay) was that everyone is still in their own groups today, and that even talking to another group or making friends with someone who isn't in the group that you "belong" to can cause friction and anger between people.

For example, I don't like to call myself goth, skater, townie or whatever other names and labels people come up with because I don't want to just be known by a label. People come up to me and say "Why are you hanging out with goths, I thought you were friends with us, etc," and it annoys the hell out of me because it makes me feel like I can only choose to be friends with one group or another, when all of my friends are special to me. We're all supposedly equal, so why do we have treat people that slightly differ from a group so badly?

And that would be why lists like the above one annoy me, because it just tries to seperate people into more groups, when we are all actually the same. Although, it is now impossible for people to realise this, because of people believing that rubbish like that list is true.

Amen Suzaku, very well said. I have to agree completely. I have friends that are labeled as such "emo, preppy, goth, crazy" and the list goes on of the groups that my friends are labeled with... it obviously doesn't matter to me, or I wouldn't be friends with them. I love all of my friends, and I don't judge people based on who they hang out with or what they look like or dress like or whatever... If I like you, I like you, and if I don't... too bad for you LOL. Okay, well I think i've made my point.
